The 43-year-old is said to have had her 20-year-old fiancé Aaron Johnson by her side at the birth. Wylda Rae is the couple’s first baby together, but Sam is also mum to Angelica, 13, and Jessie, 3, from her marriage to Jay Jopling.

Sam and Aaron met on the set of Sam’s first directing debut, Nowhere Boy, raising a few eyebrows due to their 23-year age difference. However, the couple have defied the critics and are now proud parents. “I’m in love, I’m blissfully content and I’m pregnant. No one’s getting hurt. We’re in a loving relationship. Hang on… exactly which bit of that do I have to apologise for?” Sam has said previously.
